I love the design and colors! Its very whimsical and fun! He had a great time playing in the water. There are plenty of pavilions for picnics or to just stay out of the sun. Across from the pad is a play area with wonderful equipment for the kiddies to play on. This place also has a concession stand so you can get something to snack on or drink. This park also has restrooms by the concession stand. We used the family one to get him changed into his swim trunks. Everything is well thought out and perfectly executed! What a great addition to Edwardsville. I know we will be going back many times to enjoy this wonderful place.

Brandy, the owner, was very pleasant and assisted us in setting up the decorations. The kids had a blast playing in the safe and fun environment while the parents and guests were able to talk while watching their children have fun. The floor plan is perfect with one way in and out through the party room. We'll be back for sure. I just wish the adults could play too, haha.

Joe Glik Park is a new park with pavilions and ponds, slightly rolling terrain, and recently…read moreplanted trees. As they mature, the landscaping will look really nice, especially with planned improvements. In the meantime, JGP has the widest concrete paths I can remember in any park I've visited, like the concrete guys were hurting for business, and offered a double wide, two-for-one deal. I imagine it offers a smooth surface for skaters, though I haven't noticed any here on my rare visits. Most importantly for Onyx H. and her little buddy Ruby H., this place is dog-friendly. There's a fenced dog park on the northeast side, and at least one doggie-bag dispenser. That doggie-bag dispenser can be most important when the stock of plastic bags in your pocket is exceeded by your pet's desired number of pit stops. JGP is a perfect place for a short winter walk with your canine companions.

You never know what kind of animals you may run into out here, and there is a beautiful view everywhere you turn!

First time here, but wasn't very impressed…read more Likes: - Indoor fields, good size for all ages. - Small indoor play area for the little ones. - Small Fitness Center, had all the essentials. - BAR AND GRILL!! Dislikes: - Entrance/ viewer fee, but I get it. It's like coming to watch your local games but inside. So, I dislike it but understand it. - Pricey Overall, I like the idea and creativity of the what y'all were going for. Convenience for field games, toddler entertainment, as well as food and adult entertainment. I think separation for the toddler area and not right at the front of the house. But enjoyed watching my kids game indoors. It's missing something, but can't really grasp what it's missing. Gym is a little pointless, but I get it.

This place was so fun! Even though we were there for at least two hours with one year olds, I would…read moresay we went through half of what they had. I am itching to go back already, it is well-worth the price ($18 for both my child and I). There is a lot of outdoor activities, so I would go on a nice day, but there's plenty to do inside as well if you need a rainy-day activity. So many fun activities for children, from a racing car track to a large outdoor xylophone, a "tree house" and fun little pretend areas, such as a hospital (the nursery, of course) pizza parlor, a market stand with fake food. Outside has a lot of fun things for Littles to climb on and explore. We will definitely be back!

Sooo many thing to see and do! Had to leave but will come back to do more activities.read more

Glen Carbon (valley of coal) is an old mining community, hence the name "Miner." MP has at least…read morethree pavilions, trees for shade in the summer, and hills for sledding in the winter. It's right next to the lovely Glen Carbon library. Nickel Plate Trail, part of Madison County's extensive system of bike trails, runs along the west edge of the park. In preparation for my wilderness backpacking trips ('04 and '06), it was the turnaround point for my training hikes w/ 45 lb. backpack. Since I live in E'ville, that means the trip outbound was downhill, and, unfortunately, the trip inbound uphill. Miner Park was (and remains) a pleasant place for a water break before the journey home.
